Thus, a bill amending the Tax Code was passed in first reading on October 28, 2011. It provides for the payment of taxes by an investor either in cash or in kind, UKRINFORM reports.
Value-added tax, corporate income tax and royalties for mining may be paid in cash or, if stipulated in the agreement on production sharing, in kind by transferring to the state of profitable products acquired by the investor as a result of production sharing.
The payments mechanism and the procedure for transfer of taxes paid in kind are outlined by the Cabinet of Ministers, the bill states.
Earlier, Vice-Premier and Infrastructure Minister Borys Kolesnikov said that Ukraine has 120 oil refineries, which do not pay any taxes at all.
